Advertising signage for Warhol painting of Basquiat (briefly?) replaces CBRE ads wrapping transit entrance, only recently deployed for ads.

OK, we have an answer to the question raised yesterday about where auction house Christie's would be advertising Andy Warhol’s painting of Jean-Michel Basquiat, briefly on display inside the Barclays Center at the exclusive Crown Club.

The two images are wrapping the sides of the transit entrance, newly home to the "You belong here/We belong here" neon art installation. (More on that in a bit.)

As shown below, until recently, the sides of the transit entrance were used to advertise real estate company CBRE, as shown below. But only recently have those walls been used as a revenue-generating space--part of a trend to monetize any existing space, as I'll explain further.
